Use a container with ice and water. The reason; ice is 32 deg F / 0 deg C.<br /><br />Best method is crushed ice from the door of your frig or plain old ice cubes will work as well. Add ice and just enough water to cover the ice into the container. There should be enough depth to amply cover the probe (3-4 inches). Let this stand for about 5 mins then insert the probe and let sit for 1 to 2 mins to "soak" probe to the ambient temperature in the container. (you may want to stir gently to move the warmer water away from the probe and making sure it stays off the bottom and the sides. This will ensure you have achieved roughly 0 C or 32 F. With our <a href="http://tscsensors.com/pmdrd0000000ao0anal.html">Superlite meter</a> you can offset the reading to calibrate the meter and probe, matching the actual temperature. Check with the manufacturer of your indicator for the method of calibration.<br /><br />Got a better idea or more information? Post it on the blog!<div class="feedflare">

The most important aspect is what accuracy is&nbsp;needed to&nbsp;satisfy&nbsp;the&nbsp;actual&nbsp;requirement and the evaluation process to get there. Typically if your EGT sensor is within 1% &nbsp;to 5% of the actual temperature will satisfy most requirements. The major factors are probe accuracy and the indicator accuracy, taking these both in account will give you a close estimate of the actual temperature you are reading from the indicator(s). But remember that what you are really after are two objectives, one is a&nbsp;relative&nbsp;temperature between readings (if you have more than one cylinder) the other is a temperature to obtain optimum performance for your application. Our <a href="http://www.tscsensors.com/">EGT probes</a> are designated “special limits of error” are +/- 0.4% &nbsp;of range accuracy tolerance. Using these probes will limit you error of actual reading with the indicator you are using. Make sure to check the accuracy specifications of your indicator.<br /><br />Questions? Post them here on the Blog!<div class="feedflare">

Please keep in mind that not only is consistency in distance very important but centering the probe in the exhaust flow is as well. Plan this out before you start drilling holes!

Decrease in the EGT reading is typically produced by a richer fuel mixture. Leaner mixture, heating occurs because of excess air. So you must have a basic idea of where you are starting from regarding base cylinder exhaust gas temperatures and know your rich or lean condition of the fuel delivery system when you start to tune with the <a href="http://www.thesensorconnection.com/egt_probe_thermocouples/sensors/exhaust_gas_temperature/index.shtml">EGT Sensor</a>.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Peaking exhaust gas temperature (EGT) with a carbureted engine is frequently a vague point because of less efficient atomization compared to electronic fuel injection to the individual cylinders. As a result, carbureted engines tend to operate smoother at +25 degree +50 degree F on the rich side of peak exhaust gas temperature (EGT).</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Fuel injected engines typically provide a more precise peak exhaust gas temperature, therefore the EGT system is likewise a more precise method of performance tuning with fuel injection.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">A simple definition of peak EGT is the chemically correct mixture of fuel and air, which gives 100% utilization of all the fuel and all the air.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Benefits of EGT sensors for engine tuning:</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Operation at peak EGT, particularly on long runs like in road racing or circle tracks, will give a fuel savings meaning less pitting for fuel (increased range) as well as less likelihood of spark plug fouling.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">Temperature variations will occur between in between individual cylinders when using a probe for every cylinder. Typical variations of about 100 degree F between each individual cylinder can be observed with fuel injection systems, and about 200 degree F with conventional carburetion. Carburetion variation is greater because the atomization of the fuel is not as effective when compared more exact amounts of fuel metered with injectors. In colder air temperatures, the mixture atomization is poorer for both fuel injected and carbureted engines. However, with the carburetor, the fuel/air ration and atomization is less effective resulting in larger temperature variations when comparing individual cylinders.</span></span></div><div class="feedflare">

The peak or point of maximum temperature is the basic reference for performance management. If you have experimented with the exhaust gas temperature sensors at the engine builder’s dyno or engine manufacturers recommended maximum horsepower, you have observed during the tuning process results in the peaking of the exhaust gas temperature via the gradual leaning of fuel and air ratio adjustments.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The peak temperature in each cylinder will vary with different power settings, changes in altitude, and ambient temperature. So tuning for specific atmospheric conditions can be critical on race day. Typically a hand held digital readout like the dual channel or single channel meters The Sensor Connection offers will have the ability to read individual cylinder exhausts or cylinder banks. Multiple channel data acquisition systems will gather and display data from all exhaust port temperature readings simultaneously. The requirements for precision of the data collection of your application will determine the type of data collection system you will need.

Thermocouples measure a relative temperature not an absolute temperature. In other words, a thermocouple requires a reference of known temperature. Commonly commercialized thermocouples utilize and independent sensor, such as a thermister to provide the reading of the reference temperature.</span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;"><br /></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:verdana;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:small;">The discovery of thermoelectricity is accredited to Thomas Johann Seebeck (1770-1831) Raised in Estonia, a son of a prominent merchant. In 1802 he became a medical doctor. In 1821 he discovered that a compass needle deflected when placed near a closed loop formed from two dissimilar metal conductors if the junctions were maintained at different temperatures. He also observed that the deflection of the compass needle was proportional to the temperature difference. Subsequently he described that it depended on the type of conducting materials used, and not on the temperature distributed along the conductors. The Seebeck coefficient is defined as the open circuit voltage produced between two points on a conductor, where a uniform temperature difference of 1K ohms exists between those points...

Monitoring a bank of cylinders give you information on the over all exhaust gas temperature generated by the cylinder bank. For example when installed in a "V8" cylinder engine two EGT probes can be used by placing them in the exhaust header collector just past the point where tubes from one side become common. The probes are connected to high temperature thermocouple wire and a connector and then to a dual channel meter for monitoring. The consideration to this installation is the distance from the combustion chamber, making the EGT reading lower and giving an average of the four cylinders in each bank. This keeps the ability to gather the necessary temperature information simple. </span></span></span></span></b></span></span></div><div><span class="Apple-style-span" style=" color: rgb(0, 0, 51); letter-spacing: 1px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 2px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 2px; font-family:Arial;font-size:12px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:100%;"><b><span><span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-weight: normal;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: small;">If you require more exact temperature readings you may consider installation of probes near combustion chambers. This maybe be requirement in situations where you have the ability to tune fuel supply or air for each cylinder. This is more complicated and requires proper installation and placement of the probes. The constancy in probe distance from combustion chamber is very important in order to get reliable readings.
